Jeep rubicon 4 doors, any experience?

That is bad ass.When my truck is paid off I want an 06 unlimted and make it a pickup style. I wonder what they want for that kit?

 

Damn thats news to me i thouht it would of been IFS or some kind of beam set up

 

i rented one last Thanksgiving and went wheeling in Arizona with it, very capable 4x4 and lockers front and rear are nice, although i hardly used them. I was going to get one originally but wanted a truck so got a Tacoma. The only thing i did not like about them was the 3.8 V6 is gutless, my Tacomas 4 cylinder has more power than that thing does! Another nice thing is that you have a solid front axle

 

The 3.8 isn't exactly quick, but it does what it should. The JK is badass, and a hell of a lot more comfortable than any previous Wrangler. I'd love to have a Rubicon 4door.

 

the gf wants a 4 door....if i end up buying it later down the road it will be a rubi

 

Would be nice to have that axle under a trailer for steering. Electric steering or hydraulic steering with quick disconnect? No reason just becuz

 

The 2wd samurai has a dummy axle

 

I'm more of a TJ fan than the JK's.

The rubi's are bad ass man...get it

 

for sure, my pops gotta tj...its not a rubi but it has a rear locker and he's had no problems with it...its pretty beast to be honest

ill leave this here for you...he does break the ring gear but those things are still bad ass(even though they also probably spent a ton of money on those haha)

 

start puttin boost to toyotas 4.0, they suck and blow up quick.

 

i know which one you were talkin about, i was comparing the engines. toyotas 4.0 is a pile of junk compared to jeeps.

 

x2. It all depends on the driver too. You can stick a person who has never been offroading before behind a rubicon and a driver behind a somewhat stock taco that has years of experience and the taco will do better.

 

During my last Moab trip I feel in love with this JK.

 

i'm thinking about doing just that to my off road trailer. i'm in the process of wiring it for power seperate of the light harness. looking into hydraulic pumps right now.

 

My Dad has a four door JK Rubicon, and it has treated him well. It tows his boat pretty well. Honestly I think the ride is fine.

When I was looking at Tacomas, I was seriously considering a 4 door JK Sahara.

 

Agreed...different set up and different time era




plus mine is boosted and its a beast i dont need all that power but awesome to have

 

The more i think about it it isn't as practical for me i suppose. I would love to get one and build it up but with my time still in the audio game i visit the hardware store quite often to grab 4'x8' sheets of mdf. that would be a pita in a jeep and i would need a trailer. I think what i will do is wait on it and get the gf to get one when she gets out of PA school, she loves the jk's as well and i'll make sure we get a rubi. if i saw one up for sale locally i might jump on it but it's still in the air. Time to put tires and rims on the taco and finish off the lift in the mean time

that white rubicon in the vid is sick btw
